Victrix Limited provides the essential tactical toolkit for builders recreating the final centuries of the Western Empire with this 28mm scale set of 34 modular Late Roman warriors. These Warriors of Antiquity are engineered in high-grade polystyrene to offer the needle-sharp detail and anatomical precision required to bring a late-empire shield wall to life. For the dedicated hobbyist, this kit serves as the definitive tactical core for any 4th–5th century project, allowing every legionary, cataphract, and auxiliary in your unit to be customized with a unique pose and weapon loadout.
This set is a comprehensive resource for kitbashers, packing 30 infantry and 4 heavy cavalry across eight high-density frames into a single bag. You have the freedom to mix and match elite mail-clad legionaries with agile unarmoured infantry, ranged support, and thundering heavy cavalry. Because these are true multi-part plastic figures, the parts swap naturally with other Victrix Ltd Dark Age sets, making them perfect for representing Romano-British, Arthurian, or Gothic/Germanic warbands to ensure your tabletop force looks like a cohesive, museum-quality battle scene.
